> The legislation indicates that the German government is getting serious about EV charging, having identified that the industry needed a push. If the move proves successful, expect other jurisdictions to follow the example in short order. This is just the place where they are not needed, except perhaps on the Autobahn. When you stop to fill your car with melted dinosaurs, the time is so short you can just wait for it to complete. If it's crowded you can even wait for one or two people to finish so you can start filling -- the overall time is not terrible. OTOH, it takes longer to charge your car with electrons, so you want to overlap it with an errand or excursion you'd make anyway. The Tankstelle on the Autobahn often have a cafe, sometimes a playground, so you could make an actual stop on a trip. But usually when you are running errands you don't want to be stuck in some random location for an extended period.
